TRAINING

TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE TRAINING PROGRAMME...

Ken Legros, AEW Administrator.

THE TRAINING PROGRAMME OFFERS 12 MODULES COVERING MOST PRODUCT CATEGORIES STOCKED AND SOLD BY ELECTRICAL WHOLESALERS… AEW staff training – product knowledge at your fingertips

“I have studied more than half of the modules at this stage, and I have found them very useful in my day-to- day work. “The first module that I studied was introduction to the Principles of Electricity, which is a great place to start if you have no knowledge of the basics, but also works very well as a refresher course. I achieved a distinction in this module and that gave me a lot of confidence when dealing with electrical contractors at the trade counter.

“There is genuinely something for everybody in these modules, and they can be studied in book format or online.” Running very successfully for a number of years now, more than 300 students have completed at least one of the 12 modules available through the Association of Electrical Wholesalers (AEW) staff training programme. Ken Legros, AEW Administrator, said, “The modules cover virtually every product category that electrical wholesalers stock and sell on a day- to-day basis, and they are suitable for

both beginners and experienced staff members too.” The 12 modules are: Principles of Electricity, Lighting (Introduction), Lighting (Systems and Controls), Wiring Devices and Controls, Distribution/ Switchgear and Protection, Fire/Safety and Security Systems, Renewables, Industrial Controls, Customer Service, Heating and Ventilation, Cables and Cable Management, and IT and Data Infrastructure. “There is genuinely something for everybody in these modules, and they can be studied in book format or online, whichever the student prefers,” said Ken.

“I then studied wiring devices and controls, which is a very

comprehensive and practical module. On average, each module took me two to three weeks to complete, even though I had no previous electrical qualifications.” Adam Roche, Trade Counter Sales – Euro Sales, Ringsend
